7 days with a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, and my Passport TRASHES it!
- You forgot the rest of it. The majority of smartphone users do not download any apps in an average month . Meaning they download all of their apps when they get a new device and continue to use those, but aren't on the lookout for new ones all of the time. I just counted 15 third-party (not including native apps like email, browser, youtube, etc) apps that I use at least once a week and have been using them for years. I probably have 5-10 more that I use at least once a month. The only time I look for a new app is if I hear something about a certain app and want to try it out or my needs change and I need a certain app (like when I did some personal training sessions and my trainer wanted me to use a certain app where I could find my workout routines and he could tweak them, I could chat with him and ask him questions, upload progress pics, etc).05-05-15 04:31 PMLike 8

Some perspective... I review apps for a living, and I'd say I get to check out more apps than the average person.
My core apps are all apps I've been using for at least 4+ years. I started using some of these apps back in PalmOS days.
So my usage definitely supports this theory. I use apps heavily, but don't download new ones too often.pantlesspenguin and westiewanderer like this.05-05-15 05:00 PMLike 2 - And I don't disagree with most of your point, except it makes it sound like everyone who uses anything other than a Blackberry is ONLY doing it because its uncool. For instance, I have a Z30 and a Nexus 5, love them both. I think I stated above that the Z30 gets better battery life which I love. But the Nexus 5 has things I love too. So I go back and forth because neither is perfect. Trust me, I'm way beyond trying to be cool.

But I have to accept that the S6 is more powerful and giving you such a lot of options BlackBerry can't. That's another league. I have tested it for about three days and the S6 is more superior than the Passport.
But you know what?i went back to BlackBerry beacause of that particular feeling.

But there's a lot of older people who now also have smartphones that don't even know what "apps" are. They like that the dial pad is big... You think I'm joking. I know someone who lives in a retirement community, so I interact with older people a lot...

Outright pricing is just ridiculous. I paid $816 for my Passport at Optus. $899 was RRP afaik. (Australia)
Now, look at that:

No thanks, only on contract with some juicy handset repayment component... 8-o
Another league?
Yeah, let's talk battery... ;-)

I'm no MS hater either, I usually love MS stuff. I like their computer hardware, I use Windows, etc...

The worst of the bickering has been deleted (and where those comments were quoted). None of the possible infractions were issued.
Let's call it even, get back to a friendly conversation, skip the personal comments, and all have a nice day or night -- depending upon your time zone.05-06-15 05:17 PMLike 5 -
Be classically hip with the BlackBerry Classic05-06-15 05:26 PMLike 4 - Would like an explanation for why my comment was deleted when I didn't make a single personal remark. And now it changes the context of the discussion. I don't believe there was anything personal in my comment and I believe it needs to be said since there's someone else here pulling a strawman with my words for the sake of his remark. So I still need to set it straight.

I found many of my android apps not working correctly on my s6...yet with the bb10 updates all amazon downloads still working wonderful. BB10 user interface is more simple and snappy! Loving it!
Quick shot today! Woot!

I don't ask just to be a jerk, I help lots of people with BlackBerry and other smartphones and it helps me to expand my knowledge so when someone has something weird happen, I might be able to figure it out faster, especially because I don't always get to touch the device & have to rack my brain to come up with a fix.
Posted Via CB10 on my BlackBerry Passport05-07-15 11:42 PMLike 0 - Never did I imply such a thing. I said that "most" people now-a-days care more about image. Not all. It's been proven that the majority of smartphone users do not even download apps. And the majority of people I talk to say they will never buy a BlackBerry. When I ask why, the number one answer is: "Nobody buys a BlackBerry" while making a face. No mention of apps, function, form, options, likes, dislikes, battery, nothing. When asked if they are aware that in the last few years BB has a whole new OS that's more modern and capable of modern smartphone functions and smoothness unlike legacy devices, you get nothing but blank stares like you just cited a quantum physics theory to them... VERY rarely do I get someone who actually gives me a real practical reason. But they do exist, so I never claimed that everyone who owns one is like that, but it's a clear majority of people I ask give me that same stupid answer...

Never had so much attention for a OS10 phone as with my passport.

I may come back, but for now they lost me.[/QUOTE]
What do you Mean? They have given two major updates for the z10 within the 2-2.5 years

I assume he means an upgraded 4.2" all-touch device. The Z10 is currently their only phone with a 4.2" screen.
